Why do we call that “mini”? Life in the city may get a little stressful at times, with tall and concrete buildings, there are also many mini coffee bars among the busy city where you can do a quick drop by to grab some nice coffee, may it be an indigenous coffee or what have you, to help you get away from the hustle and bustle of life for a bit. The cafe bar concept surely gives us good vibes!

These mini cafes will brighten up your everyday cup of joe with their beverages brewed with local and international roasters. And also, they are so Instagrammable as well that you can take as many good shots as you want for your aesthetic feed.
